Description
MINERGIE is a sustainability brand for new and refurbished buildings. It is mutually supported by the Swiss Confederation, the Swiss Cantons along with Trade and Industry and is registered in Switzerland and around the world and defended firmly against unlicensed use. MINERGIE is a registered brand and therefore enjoys strong protection. The MINERGIE brand may only be used for buildings that actually meet the MINERGIE standard. Apart from buildings, products and services can conform also to MINERGIE standards. The same applies to building modules such as systems, components and materials. MINERGIE, or rather the AMI (the MINERGIE Association), is organised as an association and is registered in the Swiss Trade Register. A board of 8 public figures and a president oversee the two operative directors of marketing and technology in their activities in Switzerland and abroad.
